Article Abstract
The discovery of bioactive natural products lies at the forefront of human medicine. The continued discovery of these molecules is imperative in the fight against infection and disease. While natural products have historically dominated the drug market, discovery in recent years has slowed significantly, partly due to limitations in current discovery methodologies. This work demonstrates a new workflow, deuterium adduct bioactivity screening (DABS), which pairs untargeted isotope labeling with whole cell binding assays for bioactive natural product discovery. DABS was validated and led to the discovery of a new isoprenyl guanidine alkaloid, zillamycin, which showed anti-cancer and anti-microbial activities. DABS thus represents a new workflow to accelerate discovery of natural products with a wide range of bioactive potentials.

The bioactive organosulfur compound diallyl sulfide (DAS), found in garlic and onions, was analyzed using density functional theory (DFT). DAS exhibits antimicrobial and anticancer properties, making it a potential candidate for drug discovery. Geometry optimization revealed bond lengths and angles consistent with electron delocalization.

This study aimed to develop an efficient green ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method for naringin (Nar) from Exocarpium Citri Grandis (ECG) using a glycerol-based ternary natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) and explore its biofunctional relevance. After screening and single-factor optimization, the optimal NADES was identified as glycerol:malic acid:propanedioic acid (1:1:2 M ratio, 30 % water content). Extraction conditions (liquid-solid ratio, temperature, time) were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM) and an artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA), with ANN-GA demonstrating superior predictive capability.

Hamigerans, a class of diterpenoid natural products isolated from marine sponge , are characterized by distinctive 6-6-5 or 6-7-5 tricyclic skeletons. These compounds have been a focal point for synthetic chemists in recent years due to their remarkable biological activities. In this Review, we summarize the progress made in the isolation, biosynthesis, bioactivity, and total synthesis of hamigerans, with particular emphasis on synthetic studies published since 2013.

Polar protic and aprotic solvents can effectively simulate the maturation of breast carcinoma cells. Herein, the influence of polar protic solvents (water and ethanol) and aprotic solvents (acetone and DMSO) on the properties of 3-(dimethylaminomethyl)-5-nitroindole (DAMNI) was investigated using density functional theory (DFT) computations. Thermodynamic parameters retrieved from the vibrational analysis indicated that the DAMNI's entropy, heat capacity, and enthalpy increased with rising temperature.

Hemophilia, an X-linked monogenic disorder, arises from mutations in the or genes, which encode clotting factor VIII (FVIII) or clotting factor IX (FIX), respectively. As a prominent hereditary coagulation disorder, hemophilia is clinically manifested by spontaneous hemorrhagic episodes. Severe cases may progress to complications such as stroke and arthropathy, significantly compromising patients' quality of life.
